GGG's opinion of Groves
Re: GGG's opinion of Groves
I figured GGG's opinion would be
"He is Good boy"

Re: GGG's opinion of Groves
I reckon groves would give him trouble in the ring to be honest. Triple G hasn't faced a real challenge yet and he doesn't seem in any hurry to do so, if he steps up a weight I think he will be another Arthur Abraham.
I couldnt give a monkeys about what a boxer does in sparring.

He's practically begging Canelo to fight him.
Re: GGG's opinion of Groves
Canelo isn't a genuine middle weight that's why they want a catch weight fight.jamiem26 wrote:Finn wrote:I reckon groves would give him trouble in the ring to be honest.

Established fighters in a poor division, Murray was one of the best fighters in the division and a decent smw beat him with relative ease.The Revival wrote:Hasn't faced a real challenge yet?

Re: GGG's opinion of Groves
Abraham-Murray was fairly close, while GGG-Murray wasn't.
GGG is better all-round than AA and would have more tools to carry up with him in my opinion.

Re: GGG's opinion of Groves
Canelo weighs into the 170s on fight night (he was reportedly 174 against Angulo while GGG was 173 against Rubio and 170 against Monroe) and is just as big as many fighters in the division.Finn wrote:Canelo isn't a genuine middle weight that's why they want a catch weight fight.jamiem26 wrote:Finn wrote:I reckon groves would give him trouble in the ring to be honest.

Re: GGG's opinion of Groves
He currently weighs in at more than 154lbs and less than 160lbs - That is a middleweight.Finn wrote:Canelo isn't a genuine middle weight that's why they want a catch weight fight.jamiem26 wrote:Finn wrote:I reckon groves would give him trouble in the ring to be honest.

It's ok for Golovkin to ask for an 11st 10lbs catchweight against Ward, but not for Alvarez to ask for one against Golovkin.

Murray arguably beat Abraham. Abraham certainly did not beat him with ease.Finn wrote:Established fighters in a poor division, Murray was one of the best fighters in the division and a decent smw beat him with relative ease.

Re: GGG's opinion of Groves
I know he is in that weight class but at the pre fight weigh in he was only one pound over the threshold, where as GGG weighs in just half a pound under the SMW limit. Canelo is a bulked up light middle, how man other middle weights apart from Cotto (who also isnt a genuine middle weight) weigh in that low?leejonesjnr wrote:He currently weighs in at more than 154lbs and less than 160lbs - That is a middleweight.Finn wrote:Canelo isn't a genuine middle weight that's why they want a catch weight fight.jamiem26 wrote:

Cotto and Canelo have been able to move up into that weight category because of the lack of quality in the division.

I scored it for Murray, so there was clearly a very good argument for him winning.Boxerbeetle wrote:No there wasn't.
Re: GGG's opinion of Groves
I thought it was a 7-5 type win for AA (whereas I had GGG up by 10 prior to the stoppage against Murray).

Re: GGG's opinion of Groves
I know you rate Murray higher than most of us so I won't argue. But I felt (just as I felt on all his other world title attempts) that he didn't quite do enough to get the win.Horse wrote:I scored it for Murray, so there was clearly a very good argument for him winning.Boxerbeetle wrote:No there wasn't.

Re: GGG's opinion of Groves
There was more of an argument for Smith vs Abraham (1) than Murray vs Abraham.
I remember someone from Groves team (or maybe Groves himself) saying the sparring was good with both fighters landing good shots in an 'aggressive' spar. Wasn't it at Big Bear?

Abraham didn't win either clearly.
